while the previously known magma chamber would fill the Grand Canyon 2.5 times, says postdoctoral researcher Jamie Farrell, a co-author of the study published online Friday in the journal Science.

One of the Pacific Ocean’s lesser-known volcanoes will blow its vent in the coming months, causing 10,000 earthquakes in one day. Here’s what scientists are saying.

Instead of peaks, they often form as massive calderas—huge sunken areas created when the magma chamber empties and collapses. Their eruptions sit at the top of the Volcanic Explosivity Index ...
